Search Results for “Snodding estate”

On what has been a most glorious weekend, it was inevitable that large numbers of people would make their way up to Lord Rupert’s estate.

With the trees and borders resplendent with their Springtime adornment, the gardens were looking magnificent. Many made the most of the weather; enjoying a picnic or a barbecue amidst the “Capably landscaped grounds”. A few teenagers (and more than one dog) splashed in the lake, whilst others languished under the dappled shade of the trees, drinking Chianti fiasco, and reading the Romantic poets to their lovers.

Perhaps the last night of the half term holiday was not the best time for a sleepover, but Grace Merryweather and Rose Wood had a brilliant time! They told stories and listened to music, they danced and sang and talked about their god: Justin Bieber. They baked chocolate coconut squares, and then scoffed them with crisps at midnight. And they made garlands of paper flowers, with which they adorned each other.

Meanwhile, having heard some highly disturbing noises whilst walking in the Estate’s arboretum, Simon shinned up a bael tree, where he stayed until dawn, picking off the leaves and praying for salvation.
